 Topic: Scammers

Anyone getting this scam. It is an invoice for a product you never bought and you have day or so to call and unsubscribe or claim a refund? Your account will be billed with in 48 hrs. I never respond as that will just give them more info to use.
Got two of those today for Norton 360 product. One from Shamsun Tanti and one from Loes Loo - both fine upstanding folks I am sure.

Ignore them- they're phishing scams. Attempting to unsubscribe from things like that, marks you as a valid target.

Sadly they get a LOT of money form the older crowd,who generally trust everyone. even though I'm on the Canadian 'do not call' list, I still get 3-5 a week NEVER EVER give out ANY info over the phone or computer... have 'them' mail out the request.

My accountant recently received a text from someone listing our address wanting to know if place was for sale and how much. She deleted right away

If you go far enough in those phone calls to talk to "Bill" or whatever names they use, it's fun to get their reaction when you ask how much they pay to prostitute camels

I get scam calls scam email text etc, all the time. Don't answer any of them if I don't recognize who it's from, block what I can.
Black SUV's should be showing up anytime now from what I understand. Hopefully they don't shoot the dog, kinda like him.

Ive been getting hundreds of phone calls wanting to up date my medicare info. I have started asking these clowns, "why are you calling me, I'm only 34 years old". They usually just hang up on me. But I'm wondering if these clowns are all connected in some way. This past week those calls have not been coming like they did in past weeks. I believe in giving them all the BS possible.

Scammers (aka 'phishermen') will work in groups,each gets a legit piece of YOUR info, they then combine it and get YOU 'on paper'(well in their computer), they then sell 'YOU' to several others....
when called, 'hello, mr. miller ??', I ask, whose calling? .then say .. sorry mr miller recently died.

I get emails all the time, of oriental women looking just for me, for quality time, man of her dreams, etc., etc.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.
